Question

look at this chart showing ethnic groups in yugoslavia. if ethnic groups had been more equal in size, the most likely result would be that the number of ethnic groups would have decreased. ethnic cleansing would have become more widespread. ethnic tensions would have been reduced, limiting one groups dominance. muslims would have been persecuted by more groups.

Explanation:

When ethnic groups are more equal in size, no single group has overwhelming dominance. This reduces the power imbalance that often fuels ethnic tensions. Ethnic cleansing (a violent and discriminatory act) is less likely when there's no dominant - group - driven hierarchy. The number of ethnic groups is a matter of identity and history, not size equality. And there's no basis to suggest that equal - sized groups would lead to more persecution of Muslims.

Answer:

ethnic tensions would have been reduced, limiting one group’s dominance.
